Verified Reviewer |No action taken by Pinterest against Merchants advertising fraudulently and scamming cusomers
I have provided Pinterest with full details of websites and companies that are advertising jewellery on their platform. I have provided images of what they have advertised and what I have received having paid a significant amount of money..
I have provided names of 4 different companies selling the same products. I have asked them to take action, if they are unable to get my money back at least stop them scamming other customers. They have said that they cannot give me an update nor feedback on any action taken but the team that deals with "bad merchants" has been informed.
I hold Pinterest accountable for enabling these companies to scam customers as they continue to allow them advertise on Pinterest. This must not be allowed to continue as the customers must have recourse when they are being scammed and Pinterest must vet the merchants and take their customer complaints seriously or they are complicit in the fraudulent activity.
- Great imagery used by merchants
- Stolen imagery from genuine website used on pinterest
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
User's recommendation: Do not purchase any jewellery without checking reviews on the merchant - majority are fraudulent sellers from China. Pinterest are not interested in their duty of care to customers, but more interested in the financial gains. Have a look at what several companies are advertising on their website in the first image. The second one is what I actually received.

Verified ReviewerResolved: I launched an ad campaign with this highlyy reputable company? I had difficulties trying to direct customers to my prouduct's URL. I begged, for help 5 time. No help. But they billed me anyway.
As I have explained repeatedly, this is not Pinterest's fault. I didn't think tha theyy were replying to my request for help, but their response was going to my Spam folder. I repeat as I have done several times, that this is not Pinterest's fault, it is mine for not checking my Spam folder.
The company engages in fraudulent activities. They encourage their vendors to think that will receive help if needed.
But when help is needed they disappear. I have asked them to help me with a URL issue, five times! No response at all! And now after the ad has run for two weeks, only now are they telling me that my ad is being flagged for three errors!
When they exhausted my money they tell me there are errors? They are crooks! In 3-piece suits!
Andi I will file a complaint with the FTC. They are taking people's money and giving nothing in return, and that is a violation of the law.
User's recommendation: Do not waste your money on these crooks! They have no Help Support at all! And the little support that they offer is bogus. Save your advertising dollars on Facebook or some other reputable company that cares about its vendors.
Items were never delivered
The items I ordered were not delivered: $74, $76, $68 backpacks, pairs of sneakers, etc. Wondering where my items are?
- Nice products
- Where is my delivery
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
User's recommendation: call pinterest and confirm

Verified Reviewer |Fraudulent Sellers advertising on Pinterest
Pinterest hosts companies who are using images lifted from elsewhere and creating catalogues of jewellery. I have contact Pinterest giving them the websites, the names images what they advertised for sale and what I actually received. Pinterest said that they have passed on to the team that deals with bad merchants but could not tell me if they would be sanctioned, if they could assist with the refund or removal of their products,
Both companies are advertising on Pinterest the same products and there is no way of getting in touch with Pinterest - so they are enabling fraudulent activity. These companies appear to be stealing images, advertising product, taking money and not delivering or sending inferior items. It is also Pinterest that should be held accountable for taking fees I am certain to advertise on their platform. Why doesn't Pinterest have a way so that customers can report fraudulent sellers and stop customers being fleeced.
I have reported Royaura on here and have done the same for Sienna Jewels. Please do not purchase anything from them, they are just total scammers and Pinterest are enablers.
User's recommendation: Beware of Sellers on PINTEREST

Verified Reviewer |Bring back the old format of Pinterest!!!!
The new Pinterest format is the pits. I no longer enjoy getting on Pinterest because all it is is scam ads and ads and ads and ads and ads.
Please go back to the old format that you had for people could post their interest in directions and how to do things that made Pinterest fun and enjoyable. I hardly get on Pinterest anymore because its a hassle and its uninteresting.

Verified ReviewerSold me nonsense fake goods
I bought items from Pinterest from a company called keluodaofficial@***l, the call themselves KELUODA, I believe they are Chinese and what they do is they lure you with pictures of products that are very enticing and being Pinterest you think you're getting genuine goods but it turns out to be quite the opposite, fake , under quality , duplicates. Absolute nonsense.
User's recommendation: Don't get scammed, they are fake Chinese crap.

Most retailers that are on Pinterest that sell cowboy boots and clothing are fake. They’re just there to scam you out of your money.
I ordered boots from Bubbel ill need to find out. It was just a scam.
I spent $108 for a pair of cowboy boots and sent me a pair of cowboy boots that might be worth five bucks and then told me if I wanted my money back. Id have to send those back and I didnt order them and they told me that they didnt have the materials to make them but you have 18 other companies advertising the same boots.
User's recommendation: Don’t buy any thing from Pinterest by way your shoes, boots clothing, unless you check out to see if the retailers legit.
